Eve Weather review: a worthy HomeKit weather station that's as powerful as you make it
Eve COULD choose to implement Rain and Wind.
Even though HomeKit does not currently define standard Characteristics for rain and wind, it allows vendors to define Custom Characteristics merely by choosing a GUID.
These custom characteristics will not display inside Apple’s “Home” app, but Eve has their own Viewer App (that already displays more Eve Weather info than Apple’s app does), so they could show rain and wind info in there.
”Dumping” on Apple by saying “HomeKit is too limited and doesn’t allow it” is disingenuous in this case.
